2018-2019 Student Handbook 51 measures. While a Seminary-issued no contact order has not been endorsed by a court, violating such an order is subject to disciplinary measures by the Seminary that may include suspension or dismissal. Law enforcement may also be called upon to enforce a Seminary-issued no contact order. Additionally, a student always has the option of seeking a legal order of protection from the court if he or she deems such protection necessary. Drug and Alcohol Policy See Community Values and Behavioral Commitments Dress Code With the diversity of backgrounds represented in the Denver Seminary community, the question of appropriate dress is occasionally raised. Generally, the seminary's expectations and standards are that of "good taste" and "appropriate dress for the appropriate occasion." Nevertheless, students are expected to maintain neat and proper dress that does not attract undue attention to themselves and does not inappropriately expose midriffs, backs, or undergarments. Bathing suits are not appropriate attire for any of the classroom or administrative buildings on campus, and shoes must be worn at all times. Apparel that contains vulgarity or vulgar graphics is considered inappropriate. Weapons and Explosives Policy Denver Seminary strictly prohibits the possession, storage, and use of all weapons or explosives on campus property including, but not limited to: firearms, ammunition, pellet guns, air guns, paintball guns, stun guns/tasers, smoke devices, bows and arrows, large knives, swords, bludgeons, explosives, and fireworks. It is a violation of the Seminary's policy to possess or store any of the above items in classrooms, campus residences, vehicles parked on campus property or at Seminary sponsored activities, even if the bearer possesses a valid concealed weapons permit. However, certified law enforcement personnel may carry their department issued handgun on campus if required by their responsibilities as a law enforcement officer. The possession of non-lethal self-defense instruments (e.g. OC gas or pepper spray) is permitted; however, the reckless use of such devices may be considered a violation of this policy. Additionally, verbal or written threats by seminary community members indicating that they have a prohibited weapon or explosive will be taken as and responded to as an actual threat, whether or not evidence of said weapon or explosive exists.
